The most important [commandment]," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." – Mark 12:29-31

One night this past semester our youth ministry had a night of redefining who we are and what we do based on who God is and what He has done, is doing, and will do in the days ahead. These definitions were collectively answered by the youth ministry as a whole- one gathering of Christ followers united in Christ to know Christ and to make Him known.
